Can you believe the summer is practically over? The kids are back in school, and you’re this close to tucking those summer essentials away. But wait! Don’t close up the box just yet because there’s still one last shindig to enjoy.

The city of Annapolis will be having its Craft Beer and Music Festival on Saturday, September 17th, and we think it’s the perfect end-of-the-season closer. The festival will feature more than 100 select beers from regional and national breweries. There will be live music, engaging and informative seminars and tasty food all day long and all for your enjoyment. Expect to hear music from artists like Jeremy Ragsdale, Michael McHenry and Sparks, Raymond and McCoy.

There’s even something for those budding beer enthusiasts who want to get their feet wet. The Craft Beer 101 seminar will teach guests all the basics and fundamentals of the industry. You must register for the seminars on the day of, so be sure to get there early and secure your spot.

The event will be held at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, and tickets range from $10 to $40. A ticket gets you a souvenir beer mug and all the samples you can handle at the brewery tents.

For those traveling in from out of town or those locals who simply want to make it a weekend event, the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Annapolis is the obvious choice. Our affordable Annapolis hotel offers everything you need to make your experience memorable.

We know you’re going to be tired after drinking and dancing all day, so we’d suggest taking a soak in our relaxing Whirlpool tubs to wind down. If you’d rather keep the fun going, however, we’re also in close proximity to the top Annapolis attractions and eateries.

However you want to end your summer is completely up to you. If you want to go out with a bang (and a beer) though, book with us and go to the Craft Beer and Music Festival. You won’t regret it!
